3/15/16 Sleeve Surgery Here.
I've hit a weight loss slow already and having trouble getting everything in that they want me to ... Protein, Water, even food. My "menu" shows 1/4 protein, 1/8 cup starch & 1/8 cup fruit or veg. and I can only get at most 1/2 of that in.
Of note ... do not attempt carbonation - I did at a bull roast and ended up in the bathroom throwing up bubbles.
I have lost 36 lbs so far including some on the pre-surgery liquid diet.
My starting weight was a healthy but fluffy 330.
I've reached my first goal of pre-kids weight and under 300 lbs ... I am now at 294.
I set goals in my mind by 10 lbs because each time I drop 10 I feel I've accomplished a lot.
My overall goal is 145-165 ... I have a long, long road ahead.
Thoughts, comparison, tips welcome.
Also I'm getting ready to switch to Isopure clear protein - I'm sick of flavors and I think that is part of my intake hurdle.
Need a better Vitamin though ... doc wanted me to take flintstone complete ... I'm on opurity optimized for bypass and sleeve. I'm sick of this taste too. I'm thinking of a liquid to get it down and done. Thoughts?
And finally, congratulations to everyone for taking this journey ... it's not easy but it will be worth it. I'm happy there are support groups and tons of resources for us all. Knowing your not alone makes a huge difference.
Have a great day!
